We dig. We dug. We kept digging. Then we dug some more. Eventually, it was dug. But that wasn't enough. So we dug the dug. Then we dug what had already been dug, just to make sure it was really dug. It was. So naturally, we dug again. At this point, we had achieved a level of digging previously thought impossible. Scientists were notified. Geologists were concerned. Someone from the government showed up and asked us to stop. We did not stop. We dug. We dug until there was nothing left to dig. Then we looked at the hole. It was a very good hole. So we dug it deeper. Then wider. Then deeper again. Then we realized we had accidentally dug through the bottom of the map. So we went somewhere else. And we dug there. We dug until that spot was also completely dug. Then we found another spot. And we dug. Then another. We dug there too. Eventually, there were no spots left. So we went back to the first spot. And somehow... There was more digging. So we dug. We dug until we couldn't dig anymore. Then we got a bigger shovel. And dug. 10/10. Would dig again. Actually, we're digging right now. Please send help. Or another shovel.
I don't really like the term 'friendslop' because it implies low-effort, probably vibe-coded, multi-player games that are churned out with little care and quickly abandoned. This game is certainly not that. Whilst I'd argue it's more an early-access game than a full release, what's already there is more than enough to get value for money and there's a lot more to come in the next year and, so far, the developers have made good on their promise for consistent updates. The basic game has you set up a small mining business. So small, in fact, your first plot of land is someone's back yard. From this you use basic shovels to excavated various minerals to be either sold or taken to your factory and turned into products for other industries. It's slow going at first. Which is where your friends can help. You and up to three others can make short work of the plot of land and divide duties between mining, logistics, and manufacture. The entire game is designed around this loop. Dig, carry, manufacture, sell, invest, upgrade. In a relatively short amount of time you can have a fully automated factory of machines and conveyors producing ores, minerals, products and electronics. While robots ferry the pallets from machine to storage and from storage to delivery van. It's all very satisfying. I've found that it's fun to play solo, too. Although it's preferred that you play with friends, it's entirely possible, with smart investment and some hard work, to find NPC miners who will excavated land for you while you concentrate on finding and fulfilling contracts. It's not as fast as when you have a group but it's possible to make a good profit and still max out your factory without it feeling like a slog. There's recently been a free expansion where factory owners can now own an oil refinery but I haven't been able to try it out yet. I'm definitely looking forward to it. I recommend that players join their discord. The developers are active on there, answering questions, taking feedback, noting and quickly addressing bugs that players report. It's a really nice community there and no question goes ignored. I absolutely recommend the game. The graphics are pretty decent, it runs well, and the gameplay loop is exactly what you expect from these business sim games. Yet it delivers it at a lower price than many and deserves to be more popular.
This game is way more fun than I expected. Digging around and searching for ore is probably my favorite part, but working on the factory and getting everything running is just as fun. You constantly find something else you want to build, upgrade or change and somehow the time just disappears. I’ve only played solo so far and already really enjoy it. Haven’t tried co-op yet, but with a few friends I can see this getting pretty chaotic in the best way.
Ore Factory Squad is one of those games that I started playing thinking, "I'll just play for a little while," and then somehow realized I'd been playing for hours. The core gameplay loop is incredibly satisfying. You start with very little, begin digging for resources, process what you find, sell it, reinvest the money, upgrade your equipment, and slowly turn a small mining operation into a proper industrial factory. And honestly, that progression is probably my favorite part of the game. At the beginning, you're doing almost everything yourself. You're mining, collecting resources, moving things around, figuring out the systems, and trying to make enough money to improve your operation. But as you progress, you unlock better equipment, machines, automation, transportation, production options, and other upgrades. Eventually, you go from basically being a person with a shovel to running an entire mining and manufacturing operation. The mining is also a lot of fun. The underground terrain being diggable and procedurally generated makes exploring for resources much more interesting than simply walking between predetermined resource nodes. You actually get to decide where you dig and how you approach the underground. Starting with basic tools and eventually working toward more powerful equipment gives the mining a really nice sense of progression. You can genuinely feel your operation becoming more capable as you upgrade. Then you have the factory side of the game, which is where things can get dangerously addictive for anyone who enjoys automation games. You start thinking: "Okay, I can make this." Then: "How can I make this faster?" Then: "Why am I manually doing this when I could automate it?" And suddenly you're rearranging machines, conveyors, storage, and production lines because you absolutely NEED to make everything more efficient. That progression from manual work to automation is incredibly satisfying. The combination of mining and factory management is what makes Ore Factory Squad stand out to me. You get the relaxing side of digging and gathering resources, combined with the more strategic side of production, logistics, contracts, upgrades, and expansion. If you get tired of one side of the game, there's usually something else to work on. Want to mine? Go dig. Want to improve the factory? Start building. Want to make more money? Improve your production. Want to optimize everything? Congratulations, you're now staring at conveyor belts for the next hour. The progression is especially satisfying. There's always another upgrade or improvement to work toward. You're constantly making the operation more efficient, and your upgrades actually feel meaningful. You're not just making money because there's a number going up. You're making money so you can buy better equipment, which lets you mine more efficiently, which lets you produce more, which lets you fulfill better contracts, which lets you expand even further. It's a very satisfying gameplay loop. I also really like the economy and production systems. You aren't necessarily just mining something and immediately selling it. You can process resources, create more valuable products, fulfill contracts, manage deliveries, and decide how you want to grow your operation. That gives you actual decisions to make and keeps the game from feeling like you're repeating exactly the same task forever. The logistics side is surprisingly fun too. Forklifts, trucks, storage, transportation, warehouses, and production lines might not sound exciting on paper, but once you have a factory running, you start caring about every little part of the process. You start noticing bottlenecks. You wonder why something isn't moving. You realize one machine isn't producing fast enough. You move something slightly. Suddenly everything works. And somehow that feels like a major accomplishment. That's the kind of game Ore Factory Squad is: it makes you feel proud about solving problems that you probably wouldn't care about in any other game. The co-op is another huge plus. Playing with friends makes the whole operation feel like an actual team effort. One person can focus on mining, someone else can work on the factory, another person can handle transportation or logistics, and everyone contributes toward expanding the business. Of course, there will also be the inevitable moment when someone completely ignores the carefully planned production system and starts doing something ridiculous. That's part of the fun. The ability to play with up to four people makes this a great game for a small group of friends, especially if everyone enjoys management, automation, or simulation games. At the same time, I appreciate that it can also be played solo. If you're the kind of player who likes taking your time, organizing everything exactly how you want it, and building an efficient operation without anyone messing up your plans, there's plenty here to enjoy on your own. Another thing I really enjoy is seeing the factory physically grow. You start with a small setup and gradually turn it into something much larger. Your factory becomes something that feels like it belongs to you because you've built and organized it yourself. Being able to look around after several hours and think, "I built all of this," is one of the best feelings these types of games can provide. The game also has a surprisingly relaxing atmosphere. There are plenty of moments where you're just mining, organizing resources, watching machines run, or improving your setup, and it's incredibly easy to get into that "just one more thing" mindset. You finish one task. Then another. Then you decide to upgrade something. Then you need more resources for the upgrade. So you go mining. Then you come back and process everything. Then you notice your production line could be more efficient. And suddenly several hours have disappeared. That is usually a very good sign for a simulation game. There are definitely things I'd still like to see improved or expanded over time. Like most games in this genre, there are systems that could be smoother or more intuitive, and I'd love to see even more machines, resources, production chains, customization options, locations, and reasons to keep expanding an established factory. But honestly, those are the kinds of complaints I don't mind having. I'd much rather finish a game session thinking "I want MORE of this" than wondering why I was playing in the first place. At the end of the day, Ore Factory Squad works because the basic gameplay loop is just really satisfying: Mine. Process. Build. Automate. Sell. Upgrade. Expand. Repeat. It sounds simple when you put it that way, but once all of those systems start interacting with each other, it's incredibly easy to lose yourself in the game. If you enjoy mining, factory building, automation, logistics, resource gathering, management, simulation, or progression, I think Ore Factory Squad is absolutely worth checking out. And if you have a few friends who enjoy those kinds of games, even better. There is something genuinely fun about starting with practically nothing and gradually turning your little operation into a huge production system together. Ore Factory Squad isn't trying to reinvent every genre it touches, but it doesn't need to. It takes a bunch of mechanics that are already fun individually and combines them into a gameplay loop that works really well. The mining is satisfying. The factory building is addictive. The automation is fun. The progression feels rewarding. The contracts give you goals. The logistics give you plenty to manage. And the co-op gives you the opportunity to either build an incredibly efficient operation or completely destroy it with your friends. That's a win in my book. Now excuse me while I go "fix one tiny thing" in my factory for the next four hours.
